Drummer's rugs — strips of fabric that keep drum kits in place and prevent floor damage — are a go-to gift for all percussionists.

With his long as the joint frontman of the band, The Roots, Questlove has enjoyed much of his time keeping up-to-date on musical history, particularly the history of musicians. He's gathered over 200,000 records and has a musical memory spanning as far back as the year he was born, 1971, with ' “There Comes A Time“.

Metal and grunge fans alike know how detrimental it is to continuously attend metal without protecting their ears. Listening to this type of music without earplugs can cause hearing loss and later lead to permanent deafness, so while this is another not-so-glamorous gift, it is one that will come in handy for all music lovers. We recommend high-quality ear-plugs geared towards avid goers, so they can avoid the pain of tinnitus, but also enjoy the sounds of their fave bands and artists.

Ok, I know… I know. All musicians, whether they're the lead singer, guitarist, percussionist, or even the producer have some sort of band tee.
